XERF Skin Tightening

XERF uses monopolar radiofrequency and is the world’s first device that uses two frequencies at the same time (6.78 MHz & 2 MHz). XERF also has an integrated cryogen cooling system to ensure maximum results, with minimal discomfort.

XERF is a lifting and tightening treatment but does not reduce fat.

XERF uses radiofrequency technology and is a treatment considered for skin laxity and deep structural lifting. Co2 is a fractional resurfacing treatment and is considered for fine lines, wrinkles and scarring. Suitability and recovery differ.

Thermage uses single-frequency monopolar radiofrequency, broadly heating the mid-to-deep dermis and improves skin texture, fine lines and firms, but it does not treat the deeper structures.

Pain level: moderate

Ultherapy uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) rather than radiofrequency. It reaches and treats the SMAS layer.

Pain level: High

XERF uses dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency. It treats all three layers of the skin, from the superficial layers, deep down to the SMAS fascia, giving multi-layer skin improvement and structural tightening.

Pain level: Minimal.

Pain is minimal. Most patients will experience a warm sensation which they describe as comfortable. The built-in cryogen cooling system ensures a comfortable treatment.

You will achieve great results from your first treatment and is usually enough for mild laxity. For moderate laxity a course of 2 or 3 is recommended for best results.

In trained and experienced hands XERF has a very strong safety profile. Serious adverse events are rare.

You will experience an immediate tightening effect, known as the ‘Cinderella Effect’. This settles a little after a week. A noticeable result can then be seen after 6-12 weeks, with further tightening and improvement for up to 6 months.

Results typically last 12-24 months.

Face, Neck, Jawline, Decolletage, along with various body areas. The most popular body areas include the stomach and breasts.

Unlike most radiofrequency devices that only use one frequency and can only treat one depth, XERF is a dual frequency device that can deliver two frequencies simultaneously or sequentially with each pulse, and can treat three depths, making it the first of its kind.

The other huge difference is comfort level. Most RF treatments are painful. XERF has a built in cooling system, meaning minimal pain and a treatment that is comfortable in most areas.

No. RF microneedling uses needles. Both procedures and recovery greatly differ.

Possibly. XERF can be paired with some other treatments. Please discuss this with your practitioner and they can advise on the best treatment plan.
